Two TV Broadcast Channels of Israel Hacked!

Two Israeli TV broadcast Channels had been hacked by a group of
unknown hackers on last Tuesday. These two hacked channels (Channel 2 and
Channel 10) are the main private news channels of Israel. According to reports
of local media of Israel, these hackers belongs to the Muslim community of
Saudi Arabia and after hacking the network they played “Muslim Call to
Prayer”on it. They successfully gained the access to TV satellites and
they disrupted the transmissions of TV channel.

Reason Behind This Hack?

Last month, a “Muezzin"named bill has been passed by the
representative of the Knesset (Parliament of Israel). It bans the religious
leaders of mosques to use loudspeakers during their morning and night worships.
According to Knesset, they have done it to protect their citizens from
noise pollution. To protest against this Muezzin Bill, they hacked the main
news TV Channels of Israel. They played 30 seconds small video clips which were
showing Quranic Scriptures and holy cities of Muslims. In their “Call to
Prayer” videos, they also used some messages, written in the Hebrew
language (The local language of Israel). They wrote the following messages:

“Punishment
From God”

“The
Fire Burned Hearts”

“To For
big great God war from God”

Channel 2 also confirmed the news on Twitter by posting a tweet. The tweet
was in Hebrew language and its meaning in English is, “hackers took over the
Channel 2 news program to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer”.

A local newspaper of Israel stated that the residents of northern Israel
were viewing Channel 2 and Channel 10 via satellite. In the evening, they
suddenly noticed that someone has played “Muslim Call to Player” on the same TV
channel. The Worldwide Muslim communities are doing protest against this
“Muezzin Bill” of Israel. Two Arab politicians Taleb Abu Arar and Ahmad
Tibi staged ‘Azan’(call to prayer) in the parliament to protest
again this bill.

According to local officers of Israel, they were getting regular complaints
from the various citizens of Israel which belong to multiple societies and
religions. The complainants were suffering regular loud noises from the prayer
houses of Muslims. After discussing all the things, Knesset passed this bill
with the support of Israeli Prime Minister “Benjamin Netanahu”.

The protesters are saying that government is not passing this bill to
protect the citizens from noise, in actual, they are stopping Muslim leaders
from giving religious speeches and conveying religious messages. According to
them, a clause has been added by the government regarding this. But the
government is saying that they simply want to protect the citizens from noise
pollution.
